How was I supposed to know
you were preoccupied
in another girl with burnt brown hair
and puppy dog eyes.
You acted ambiguous
never really answering with a conclusion
always leaving your mumbled words up for my interpretation.
How was I supposed to know
you went to see her
when you were supposed to be at home:
Alone.
You never stopped the morning texts
which never ceased to make me smile.
How was I supposed to know
you were sending her the same words
making her smile the same way.
The sleepy time kisses continued,
the cuddling increased,
but it was just pretending
that I was her.
It was all just for show
how was I supposed to know?
